http://www.NoOnProp8.com/contributeDid you hear that the right-wing has now raised $16 million to pass Prop 8? $5 million of this has been raised since September 1! They've used this money to buy massive amounts of air time to run ads for Prop 8 as early as late September. Soon endless ads will flood the airwaves with the goal of eliminating marriage rights for same sex couples.
We need your help now more than ever -- because we are behind. The Yes on 8 campaign is out fundraising our side at a pace of 3 to 2. We must match what is raised dollar for dollar with the right wing; if we do not, we are at serious risk of losing this November.
We must raise $200,000 in the next 48 hours to meet our fundraising goal. Contribute today!
http://www.NoOnProp8.com/contributeYou've probably heard that the polls show our side ahead. Some are saying that victory for our side is a sure thing. Don't be fooled! This race is too close to call. The ugly truth we have learned from defeat after defeat in states across the country is that people lie on polls, especially about how they feel about LGBT people. In contest after contest, from Wisconsin to Colorado, we have gone into election day with polls showing our side with 7 to 10 points more support than we actually received at the ballot box.
And, these polls do not factor in the media battle that is about to unfold here in California. We know that between 15% – 20% of California voters remain undecided on Prop 8. We can persuade them to vote no, but only if we reach them first and often with our message. Reaching them via TV will be vital to winning. Right now the opposition may out-campaign us over the airwaves. We must be competitive on TV or we risk losing undecided voters to the other side.
We must even the odds against Prop 8 now. Donate to No On 8 today!
http://www.NoOnProp8.com/contributeWe must raise more money now to stay competitive. And we need your help to do so. If you've given before – thank you – we need you to dig even deeper for our fight. If you've not yet given, now is the time to act. Give today to help us meet our ambitious $200,000 fundraising goal.

No On 8
P.S. Don't take our freedom for granted! Eight years ago, some said Prop 22, the same sex marriage ban, could never pass in California. Yet we lost 61% – 39%. Don't let it happen again. Give today to No on 8.
